Description: |
2005 Elan Impression 434, S/V Leyna. Designed by renown naval architect Rob Humphreys (designer of Oyster Yachts, Southerly Yachts, Vendee Globe entries, the Global Challenge 72 fleet, Americas Cup campaigns.) Elan has won both Cruising Boat of the Year and the European Yacht of the Year. The Impression brings a bright and airy elegant design that is both swift and surefooted offshore, capable of reeling off excellent daily mileage.
Leyna is well commissioned for offshore sailing and has a proven history. She sailed from South Africa in the Cape to Rio Race, sailed back to Cape Town, and after a refit, sailed up to the Caribbean. Never chartered, this is a three-owner boat with an engine that was replaced in 2013 and now has 2000 hrs. on it.
Four 150-watt solar panels are mounted on a custom stainless steel arch that surrounds the cockpit for both safety and shelter and provides ample hand holds. The 900-AH battery bank powers refrigerator, freezer, Watermaker and autopilot. Under spinnaker, either the symmetrical, or asymmetrical, both in socks, Leyna is a race horse. The attention to detail throughout the design keeps the crew comfortable offshore.
Elan uses modern construction methods, infusing the hulls outer multiaxial laminate with vinyl ester resin for osmosis protection, with isophtalis polyester resin on the inner layers. The hull is solid glass below the waterline, while the topsides and deck are PVC-foam cored. Construction is under the permanent technical supervision of Germanishcer Lloyd. Elan is a cut above the current cookie cutter performance cruisers.
Our 6-month planned cruise has now extended to 12, and its time to return to California. Leyna was an excellent choice for our family; we bought her in Grenada, cruised the Eastern Caribbean, sailed up through the Bahamas, up the East Coast to Maine before sailing south to Annapolis, MD. The three-cabin layout is spacious and comfortable, the large settee fully surrounds a large table that basks in light from the deck salon windows. Stop dreaming, start sailing. |
